Brief summary

The purpose of this exploratory cross-sectional investigation is to evaluate associations between tap water perceptions, water consumption behaviors, and hydration status in Latinx adults (18 - 65 y). The objective is to identify perceptual determinants that explain the associations between tap water avoidance and plain water intake and hydration status in Latinx adults. Aim 1: Characterize the degree to which individual- and community-level factors uniquely predict the perception that tap water is not safe in Latinx adults. Aim 2: Evaluate household income, education level, and US nativity as potential moderators of the associations between predictors and perceptions of tap water safety. Aim 3: Evaluate the influence of tap water safety perceptions on plain water intake and 24-h hydration status, after adjustment for predictors of tap water safety perceptions, in a sub-sample of Latinx adults.
